Savory Beef and Cheese Stuffed Bread

This dish consists of seasoned ground beef mixed with cheese, all enveloped in a golden-brown bread crust. It’s a perfect choice for a filling meal, taking approximately 1 hour to prepare and bake, and serves about 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 package of refrigerated pizza dough or bread dough
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic and ground beef, cooking until the beef is browned. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Mix in Cheese: Once the beef is cooked, stir in the shredded cheese until it is melted and well combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza or bread dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick.

Stuff the Dough: Place the beef and cheese mixture in the center of the dough, leaving space around the edges. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tight.
Brush with Egg Wash: Place the stuffed bread seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
